Generally Available: Chat apps using app authentication can now send a forced notification when sending a message or send a message silently by setting the createMessageNotificationOptions field in the CreateMessage request. You can use these options to notify users:
Forced notifications: Overrides recipient notification settings and Do Not Disturb (DND) status to ensure the message is delivered as a push notification.
Silent messages: Suppresses push notifications and prevents the message from bolding or bumping the space in the recipient's list.
For more information, see Send forced notifications or silent messages.
